Blue Flashing Light

Em

Saturday evening at quarter to five

Am

I would see him arrive at the door

Pushed you aside as he stagered inside

Em

spilling alcohol over the floor

Em

A storm is a brew it is sure to fall soon

Am

as I look at you from ashore

So you'd better hold on

'cos it's saturday night

Em

and your friends are all out

and you feel like shit

'cos they never called you

no they never called you

Em

no they never called, never called

Never bloody ever

Em

Call me a name and i'll hit you again

Am

you're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a hore

talk to your dad in that tone of voice

Em

there's a belt hanging over the door

Em

so you run to your room, and you hide in your room

Am

thinking how you could settle the score

Em

The blue flashing light last saturday night

Am

brought the neighbours all out on the street

they watched as the fireman carried you out

Em

and they stared at each others feet

Em

everyone sees yet nobody says

Am

are you all just afraid of the heat

but it's saturday night

and i'm lying alone

Em

and the bed that i made

disconnected the phone

still they never call you

no they never call you

Em

no they never call, never call

Never bloody ever call
